Dhaka expresses concern over Burmese attack

By a Staff Correspondent
Bangladesh on Sunday expressed "serious concern" to Myanmar (Burma) at the attack on a BDR outpost by Myanmar s border security forces that left two Bangladeshis killed and another 22 Injured. Foreign Secretary Reaz Rahman conveyed the concern to Myanmar s Ambassador Soe Mint who was summoned to the Foreign Office in the morning.
Giving the details of the meeting at a press briefing Foreign Minister Mostafizur Rahman said ’ we have told Myanmar to take urgent steps to defuse tension along the border and undertake immediate negotiations to restore peace. , "We have urged Myanmar to urgently return all arms and ammunition" taken away from the outpost at Rljupara village of Nalkkongchari upazila of Bandarban district
He did not specify the number of arms nor the quan Uty of ammunitions. Local official sources said the Invaders took away 6 Chinese rifles, one LMG and One SMG besides unspecified quantity of ammunitions from the border outpost.
The Ambassador was also told that the attack and the subsequent developments violated the 1978 Burma-Bangladesh border agreement and the norms of bilateral friendship that Myamar must stop troops build up and other provocative acts and that it must take steps against recurrence of such Incidents.
Bangladesh has also asked Myanmar to give adequate financial compensation for the death of a BDR Jawan.
The Foreign Minister said only one BDR Jawan was killed, and there was no civilian casualty. But reports from the spot said one BDR Jawan and a civilian were killed.
Asked why only a concern was expressed instead of condemning the killings Rahman said this may be an isolated Incident and you should not blow it out of proportion.'
The Myanmar attack came amidst Dhaka's efforts to send back an estimated 50,000 Rohingya Muslim refugees who have fled to Bangladesh to escape the atrocities of their military rulers.
The Foreign Minister said Bangladesh's current goal Is to send the Rohingya refugees back home through negotiations with Myanmar authorities. It does want to do anything that may disrupt the process of repatriation.
He referred to his last month's visit to Myanmar and said he was still optimistic about the repatriation of the Rohingya refugees.
The Home Ministry, he said, will start enlisting the refugees, but pointed out that this may become a lengthy process since the Rohingyas are scattered along the border instead of housed in specific camps.
